Culture and Communications
Culture is in every layer of human existence. Economy, politics, worldviews, self-understanding, music and food. They are all related to cultural heritage and the present.
I am passionate for culture and social communications. I believe culture is the best path possible to understand people, societies, nations.
Curiosity is in human nature, and journalism can canalize it to enrich the 21st century with peaceful understanding among distant countries in a globalized era.
The 21st century is one of unsatisfied basic human needs for a high portion of global population. At the same time, humanity might face the scarcity of natural resources as basic as water.
Journalism should promote intercultural peaceful comprehension, the respect for human rights and have and compromise with the environment´s health.
We journalists have the privilege of being social communicators. Our passion is directly linked to the exercise of a human right. We must take that responsibility. We provide the public with tools that help them construct their worldviews.
New technologies transformed social communications and journalism. Instead of broadcasting, media has democratized.
Technology provides the tools for the democratization of journalism in the 21st century. Those of us who studied and/or worked hard to apprehend journalism skills live in a privileged time for reaching our highest potential in our vocation.
Emerging journalism should combine both, the spirit of participatory journalism, and the quality and skills of professional journalism. Always keeping in mind the responsibility of being a social communicator.
